New series are typically released on Fridays, though this isn’t always the case, at 12:01am Pacific Standard Time.

This is because Netflix’s headquarters are located in San Fransisco.

Viewers watching from the UK and Ireland will be able to watch from 8am BST tomorrow morning.

This means that most of the rest of Europe can tune in from 9am.

In America, 12am PST is 3am Eastern Time, so while Californians can start watching at midnight, it will be 3am before New Yorkers can.
